Wonder if you could put the same stuff in the transfer case too. Seems like it's GL1/GL4 and yellow metal safe so on paper should work.

What are you going to do for paint? I heard there's a special paint/coating you're supposed to use to keep the springs from sticking together.

Exactly my problem. I painted mine but it's rusting back up since I couldn't get in the middle of the spring pack. Is there any trick to taking them apart or do you just break the bolts loose and then put new bolts in? Is all the other hardware reusable?

Are you planning to take the spring pack apart? I've been thinking about doing that.

Those drain holes are a great idea!

That hole goes pretty deep. Not sure if there's enough meat there to drill a hole.

Yeah I have no idea what the correct term is for it. If you look in the big brake info thread there is a part number for a new one (i found it when i was doing this same job). So you can replace it along with a new washer and eliminate that as a source of your problem. Of course that won't help...

Are you talking about the adapter that goes from straight thread to inverted flare? Mine seeped a bit but stopped after I tightened it down just a bit more. I'm pretty sure there is only room for one washer between the adapter and the surface of the airpack. Could the leak be coming from the...

Yep.

For those considering doing this there is a cheaper version of the dynamat material on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Noico-deadening-automotive-Insulation-dampening/dp/B00URUIKAK/ A friend of mine used it in his bronco and he's happy with it.

Not sure if this situation requires it, but I do know that you can still get piston/liner kits on the big auction site and from some parts dealers.

I wouldn't. In my experience the guys handling the packages do the exact opposite of anything on the box. Best to just put it in a box that can't be folded.

May be a stupid question, but how do you know it's not the tire?

Thanks. I already have new cylinders all around but I'm going to flip hubs so it's a good opportunity to improve the seals. Did you mount your grinder with the wheel facing sideways or facing up?

I mix it 50/50 and use a little refillable sprayer. Works as well as the spray can stuff for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035FH906

What did you use to grind down the bearing races to make the press tool he described? I want to make one but unfortunately don't have a lathe.

Looks really clean so just the truck part would be worth some money.

Looks like that poor old truck was used for target practice at some point.

A modern aluminum rad would also probably last longer.

Wait until another batch comes up for auction.
